Buck, 1 year Male Labrador Retriever   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Buck is a terrific 70lb 1 yr old black lab pup—loves dogs, people, not a barker, crate trained, and what I call a boomerang pup—loves to explore but always comes back! He is strong and smart, not stubborn or willful and is controllable by a 5’2’’ woman, so please don’t think he isn’t the dog for you! He sits and gives a paw, loves to snuggle with his nose under your chin, housetrained, understands no, not a counter surfer,doesn’t jump on people,and plays with his toys quietly in the house— outside, will make a true jogging companion- he is a love and wants a forever family to adore—don’t wait to apply for Buck. Large dog experience preferred, a fenced in yard is a must. He is a strong dog but really wants to please. He's not a spaz like some labs, he's just a big boy and a REALLY GREAT DOG!

Buddy, 1 year Male Pug / Yorkie  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Buddy is a one-year old Pug/Terrier mix with high energy, but just a GREAT dog all around. He's very personably, happy and loves to play and go for walks and see the world! He would make a great walking/running partner. He can go for a mile run and then come back home and play for another 45 mins til he crashes. He's still very puppy like and loves to play with his toys, ball, and chew on chews. He spends his down time napping and chewing or snuggling in his foster's lap. Buddy was relinquished because his 80 year owner could not keep up with his high energy, and this is SO typical of the terrier breed. He will make someone a wonderful companion, but they must understand Buddy's need for excercise (several walks/runs a day) or he wont be a happycompanion and neither will you. Buddy is neutered and up to date w/shots. He weighs 15 lbs. Are you looking for a little guy like Buddy to be YOUR "Buddy"? If so, please fill out an application on our website.

Sparkie, 3 years old Male Mini Australian Shepherd   Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Sparkie is a 3 year old, purebred tricolored red, Mini Australian Shepherd. He is great with dogs and horses and somewhat shy with people he doesn't know -- he doesn't do crowds so is not a dog to take to the fireworks or to a parade. His owner regularly goes to horse shows and he's too nervous in crowds so he must stay home alone a lot. Owner is seeking a better life for him with people who can give him more attention and to better socialize him. He is fully housetrained, owner works and he's great in the house, not destructive at all. He lived with a 10 year old boy and a grandmother and grandpa and was very attached to the grandpa. He used to play with the ponies at the barn and would get them to chase him through the fence. This dog has a lot of personality, a lot of smarts, and a lot to offer to the right owner. We're looking for previous dog experience, someone who has rescued before or someone with dog training experience. Ideally also, a quiet household, possibly with another dog for companionship. Horses would be a plus as he's in his element with horses. He will not be at the 5/17 meet and greet, but will be at the 5/24 meet and greet. We met Sparkie and can confirm he is a gorgeous dog with a mild personality, very sweet.

Dolly/Lexi, 1 year Female Labrador Retriever  Mix Adopted Dolly is a beautiful female lab mix with a big heart. She loves people and shows her affection as often as she can get a lick in. Although she loves attention, she is a calm and secure dog and can spend time alone at home. She is very well behaved, likes to learn new tricks, be outdoors, has lots of energy and loves to run. She has sensitive skin and a mild itch, alleviated with bathing. She would do well in a home that would allow ample outdoor space for releasing her energy as well as either another dog or children to play with. She loves going for walks, riding in the car, and just being with you. She knows many commands such as sit, give paw, lay down, stay, come, heel. She is the perfect dog and deserves the perfect home. Also, she is housebroken and crate trained. Dolly was previously placed by us. Her owner was in a very serious car crash 2 months ago. His family took Dolly in hoping it would be a temporary commitment, but there have been complications, and they are afraid Dolly can not return to her "real home". They have other commitments/animals and cannot keep Dolly permanently, as much as they love her. They hope that she'll find another wonderful home where she'll be appreciated and loved and doted on, as she should be!

Lab Puppies, 3 months Female Labrador Retriever Click on picture to enlarge Adopted Please note: We've had more applications than we can handle so if you haven't applied, you might want to wait for a future group of dogs. These are the three female Lab Puppies. They were born on Valentines day. Their mother was found near a business in an open field with coyotes after her. She was only a couple of weeks away from having the pups when the man found her. He turned her over to a rescue and they fostered her and the pups until the pups were 5 wks old. The mom is a beautiful choc. lab. These pups are beautiful....gentle, playful, good natured, love to be picked up and held. They love to play with balls and squeaky toys as well as each other. Luvie is the smallest (approx 17lbs) and a little shy at first, but likes attention. She will stay to herself some and just relax and look around. Raven is the largest (approx 20-25#). She is happy and playful and can hold her own with her brothers! Tinker Bell is around 20# and is happy and playful and curious. She will leave her food every time and come for attention. I can say to her "you had better eat your supper" and away she goes back to her food!

She is spayed, utd on shots. She loves to be hugged and loves to play. Lassie will make a great dog for some active family with tweens and up. Because of her ordeal, we're hoping she can be the only dog and get lots of attention. She is around 40#. Lassie smiles (don't think she is showing her teeth in aggression....she is not). She is friendly with strangers. She was with dachshunds and was fine with them, but generally ignores other dogs as she wants to be with the people. She is a cuddler. The woman had kids and Lassie was fine with them. Good in the car, fine on a leash. The woman had cats and Lassie did not seem to care one way or the other about them the daythe rescue worker went to pick her up. You can meet her today once we receive and review your application.
